First car.. 1990 Plymouth Sundance


Wrecked that learning about brake line replacement and bought an '88 Trans Am 305TPI


That became wayy too radical, so I went and bought a winter car (it is a Z28... front badges were removed)...


Then when that car went H/C+N2O, I needed something for the winter..


Sold that because of gas prices and bought this..


Now the Camaro is getting put back together stock, and I picked up this a few months ago..


There, that's my whole car history (except for a '99 Dodge Ram that I bought for $900 and sold for $2700 two days later).

Honestly, I miss them all.. even the P.O.S. Sundance, and the Ram I only had for a couple days.

It was one of these, except it was red. This was the one I restored from an abandoned shell in the AZ desert over a 3-year period between 2000 - 2003.



It looked like this when I got it.



Three years later, with my own two hands, it looked like this:





Had lots of fun showing it, won First Place Best In Class in 5 consecutive annual car shows locally, and decided to sell it a couple of years ago. Barrett Jackson was going to list it, but I opted to sell it privately instead. Didn't want to waste my time with a week in AZ. No market for this type of car in that auction.

I found this pic online...It looks a lot like my first car. I bought it when I was 16 from a housewife for $425. I added paint, black tuck and roll interior, and Cragar mags. Sold it 2 years later for $850...Didn't want to take a "kid's car" away to College. DOH!!!


#2 looked like this only with red stripe TigerPaw tires. It had been stripped of all the original running gear and would break down on any trip over 50 miles.


I'm tearing up thinking about #3 so I'll stop here.(O.k., it was a '65 GTO)

After 33 years, it looks like you're both holding up exceptionally well.

Remove that right front fender mirror, add (wide) whitewalls and you have it pretty close.

BTW, for the kids here...........that's a 1956 Oldsmobile Holiday 4dr hardtop.

I do not have any pictures of my first car, hell I don't even think our family owned a camera. I downloaded these pics off the web. Except for the windshield sunvisor these pics look exactly like the one I had. I paid $100 for it, kept is 6 months, put another $300 in it just to keep it running. It was a 50 Plymouth 4 door sedan. My first and last MOPAR product.

My first car. Paid $100 for it. Flathead V-8

Picture taken in summer of 1964. The car was painted competition orange by Earl Schieb!
The only other customization were the mini-moon hubcaps on black painted wheels,
skinny white sidewall tires and removed hood ornament.

Yes, it was my 1st love!



Picture taken a couple miles from Beaverton Oregon, about a block and 1/2 north of Jesuit High School
